From the reviews

I am always Dhopping at Cato fashion. The Staff is very friendly and Helpful..if an item is not available, the Manager Darlene is always willing to order the item on line or find a store that has the item.. Darlene is an Asset to this Branch, always friendly and helpful..I enjoy shopping whenever she is on Duty.

I love this store. They have really cute things and if there I'd an item that they don't have in your size, they will order it for you! The staff is super nice and friendly. I love this store!

★★★★☆ — Althea, Jan 2019

Amazing choices of fashionable, trendy, colorful (or neutral color) clothing for both your regular size or plus size women. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Love, love their costume jewelry and accessories. One of my favorite, go to stores in the neighborhood.

Plus size bridal & formal at Cato Fashions

Cato Fashions comes up for plus size bridal and formal wear — confirmed on their own site. Two things to know before the trip. First, bridal shopping is usually by appointment — book ahead, and when you call, ask what size range their try-on samples come in. A shop can order almost any gown in your size, but the sample sizes on the floor decide whether you actually get to see yourself in the dress, and the good plus bridal shops stock samples to try, not just to imagine. Second, plan the alterations timeline: gowns and formal dresses typically go through two or three fittings, so the comfortable window is starting your search around 8–10 months before the date and saying yes to a gown by 6.
